Exchanges in the South

Hello family!! Well this week has been great, we have been here in the south doing exchanges and helping out the missionaries here! So that has been great. While here in Esquel we found a lady named Mica who is super prepared, her whole family are members and she never was baptized. We were able to teach her with the elders and she will be baptized soon!! All is going well. The mission is the best :) love you all!!

Special Experiences!

Buen dia familia!

This week was great!! we headed down to the south to help a matrimony (senior couple) move from Junin to Villa la Angostura! so that was fun, and while we were down there we took advantage of doing exchanges with the elders that are there in Junin and we had an amazing experience!! We went to go visit one of their investigators, Veronica, who is the wife of a less active member. She had assited the church the past few weeks and was thinking about getting  baptized but she still wasnt sure so we went in and we had a wonderful lesson with her! in the middle of the lesson we decided to have her pray right there to ask God if she needed to be baptized this saturday, she said she was scared to do it, so we had her husband pray first and right after she said she would do it. In the middle of her prayer she just went silent and you could hear her crying a little, she finished her prayer and said that she had never felt something like that, she explained that it was like someone there hugging her. We explained that that was the spirit, and she recieved her answer and was eventually baptized this past saturday by her husband Sergio who is reactivating :) It was such a special experience that we are so lucky that we were a part of! Things are going great! I love you all, have a great week!

Paying Attention Pays Off!

Hello Family!

This week was great! we did exchanges in Cinco Saltos and i got to go with Elder Bliss!!! It was so much fun to be able to be with him again and work with him. We had a great day, We went to this investigator they had, Blas, and we had a really good lesson with him, but the coolest part was that his brother maxamiliano was there in the room too and we invited him to listen and he accepted and he loved it! We were able to put baptismal dates with both of them, so that was awesome! And then, it happened again! We went to teach one of their investigators that already had a date, Raul, and he wasnt there but his brother Ezequiel answered the door and we were able to teach him and he too accepted a date! It is amazing that when we really pay attention to those around us as we teach and we always try and find new people to teach through our investigators the Lord will always bless us. It was a great week! Love you all!

Buen dia familia!

This week was a great week! We had a really cool experience this week while we were in Roca doing exchanges with the zone leaders. We were walking down the street and we saw two ladies sitting outside, and we went up to talk with them. One of them was a member, but inactive for a long time, and the other is her sister who is not a member. The member told us that she didnt want anything because she was mad at God because her husband had died about a month ago. We were able to testify to her of the love of God and how everyone of us will be able to be with our loved ones again if we follow the gospel of Christ. It was such a great experience to be able to help someone find the peace and joy that comes from this gospel. The spirit that you can feel as you testify of these divine truths is amazing, and i am so grateful for the opportunities that my Heavenly Father gives me everyday to testify of my Savior Jesus Christ and how through his atoning sacrifice we can be saved :) 

Great week! :) Thank you all for all your support! have a wonderful week everyone!

Love,

Elder Stuart
